Have you been trying to decide which phone to buy, but none of them are Batman enough? Then Samsung has just the product for you. In partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive, Samsung has announced the Galaxy S7 edge Injustice Edition.
Fans might be wondering what this is all about. Well, you see, we've come upon the three-year anniversary of the release of Injustice: Gods Among Us, which (for you non-fans) is a Batman mobile game. In other words, Samsung wants to promote the gaming experience on the S7 edge as well as convert a few more people into customers while Warner Bros. and DC want people to check out the once-popular game again.
If you're a very big Batman aficionado, I'm sure you need no sales pitch. If you're not, I doubt Samsung can convince you this is a better deal than the non-Batman versions. Batman or not, that gold trim is pretty nice.
Samsung says the phone will include a Gear VR—in select locations—and Injustice game credits and Oculus VR "content vouchers," once again in select locales, though no further details are offered.
The phone will be available "in early June" and only in "select territories, including China, Singapore, Korea, Latin America, Russia and others to be announced soon." Sorry US residents, no soup for you! At least, not yet.
